Deal with the devil

Chapter 12- nightmare

Celeste POV:(Click the song at the top)

"HELPPPP"
Immediately I push out my covers, rubbing my eyes forcefully.
I wait in silence for it to stop.
Yet it doesn't.
Shrieks continue to echo throughout the house.
The tone almost sounds familiar.
I recognise it.
Lorenzo.

I can't just leave him. His voice cracks after every yell, fear clear in his tone. He sounds terrified.
Fuck.

I force the door open, cursing harshly as it doesn't move any further.
I peer down to see the shadow of a body.
Lorenzo lay spread on the floor.
Shit.

Sweat lines his forehead, his large hands cradling his curled body. Tears fall fast from his bloodshot blue eyes.
He's crying.
Sobbing even.

I crouch down next to him, softly cradling his face to focus his eyes to mine.
"Lorenzo? What- "
I pause,waiting for Enzo's interruption yet not a single word follows from him.

"Lorenzo what happened." His head shifts to my shoulders, soft cries muffled as I hold him to my chest.
Why is he crying?

"Please stop, please"
Sobs continue to course through his body, grip tightening around me with every word. Placing my arms around him, I try leading him back to his room.

" Shushh, it's okay" I whisper whilst placing him on the edge of his bed.
I don't even know what I'm doing. I just want him...him to stop screaming.

"DONT TOUCH HIM DAD! Take me instead" His calls echo into the cold air as his hands desperately reach out. Almost as if he's trying to grab something. Gently, I place my hands around his, in an attempt to calm him down.

" I'M SORRY. JUST DON'T TOUCH HER"
Tears begin dripping down his cheeks faster than ever before.
"Please"

" Enzo, it's fine I'm here" I whisper into his silk hair. Starting to rub his bare back gently, I run my fingers over his scars. He seems to have them everywhere. And a small amount of tattoos too.
" I'm here, you don't need be scared"

He doesn't answer only tugs me.
So now he's the one holding me.

We're so close.
So close that I can feel his ragged breaths against me.

After a while, his muffled tears begin to slow and his head turns on the pillow to face me.
" Cel?"

" You were having a nightmare"

His tear filled eyes fix onto mine as I reach out to wipe one away.

I slight look of fear returns to his face at my words.

" Sorry"

" Enzo there's nothing to be sorry for"

" You can go now if you want, I'll be fine"

" I'll stay if you want?"

" Okay"

I only lean into his touch as he pulls me to his chest.

——————————————————————
When I wake up we're still in that  exact same position, my face buried in his chest, our legs tangled, mine hooked around his waist.
Oh god-

" Ohhh hey"
Can this get any worse?
It's Nikoli leant against Enzo's door.
Somehow Enzo is still asleep.

" What were you two doing last night" Nikoli sniggers.
He coughs. " Fucking?"
" HEYYY Enzo can you hear me. Did you have a good time last night?"

Finally, after what  seems like years, he wakes up.
" What are you on about Nikoli?" Lorenzo groggily mumbles.
" I asked if you had a good time fucking your fiancée"
